Early College Experiences for High School Students

About Early College

Motivated high school and home school students don’t have to wait to begin their college experience. The Early College Partnership and Dual Enrollment Program at North Shore Community College allows qualified high school and home-schooled students the opportunity to earn college credit while completing high school graduation requirements in a variety of ways.

Early College Partnership Program at Lynn
North Shore Community College and Lynn Public Schools launched an Early College Partnership Program in Spring 2016, offering Lynn Public School students the opportunity to take college courses while in high school at our Lynn campus. We have since expanded the Partnership to include other district partners.

The Early College program combines college credit options to allow high school students to complete a post-secondary certificate or degree, while they achieve their high school diploma.

Dual Enrollment
The Dual Enrollment Program at North Shore Community College provides an opportunity for high school or home-schooled students to take college courses. Students may choose to do so to finish requirements for a high school diploma or for personal enrichment purposes.
